My sister purchased a laptop off a friends company about a year ago im not sure of the exact specs its a pioneer. CPU is AMD turion 64 mobile 1.60gh its got 480mb of ram. 1st problem it says its got 480mb of ram it said 512 when we got it but im told its shared with the video card that make sence to anyone?It also has alot of preformance problems it general runs slow often runs out of ram very quickly freezes easly stuff like that ive ran lots of anti virus scans on it and freed up as much ram as i can it still seems to run out. One of my desktops a Athlon 1.2 with 256mb of ram runs more smooth most of the time than this laptop despite the laptop been alot better.video card is a ATI Radeon xpress 200m ive not had much to do with computers in the last couple of years so fallen behind is this any good? and does it use shared memory? I know my laptops 64mb card does yet ive never had any problems like this and ive had it a couple of years now.So anyone got any bright ideas? im out
Just for starters. Open Tools on your (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape) browser and Delete old Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. Run Antivirus and Spyware checker, Run Disk Defragmenter Press Ctrl, Alt, Del. In the task Manager click on Applications. Look to see what is running in that window. Then go to Start/Control Panel/Add Remove and see if there is any stuff that isn't really important. Like a dozen different versions of the same thing. One in particular I remember is having six updates of JAVA and it really only needs the newest version. When anything that is supposed be the same has more then one file in Program Files it can cause headaches. Same goes for browsers, I downloaded IE 7 as instructed and discovered it had flaws. I looked in there and saw that version 6 was still installed. Not only there but in Add Remove Programs. I removed both IE 7 and version 6, then went to program files and deleted the old IE Program file for 6. I reinstalled the latest version of JAVA works much better. Reinstalled 7 and it worked allot better, but i still wont use it.

i've got in no way been able to have faith Norton, neither have some people i understand. It has made a number of my previous structures somewhat sluggish and nevertheless capture threats with out it even ever detecting them. it may sound such as you're turning out to be some style of virus or something is utilizing up all your memory, lower back that must be a achievable virus. ought to objective rebooting? If no luck consistent with danger in case you already know somebody who knows slightly approximately laptops ought to check out it. in my opinion i could get rid of Norton and set up something greater useful, yet once you have in basic terms offered Norton along with your new computing device i can work out you desirous to push aside what i in basic terms reported haha, wish you get appeared after :)
